What if he parlays this into a VP position? Every other candidate would fall over themselves to grab his market share.
- JacobAldridge 11y agoJohn Garner, 32nd Vice President of the United States, wonderfully stated that the office of VP "is not worth a bucket of warm piss." I suspect Trump would view it the same way. Whereas Rubio is well-placed to parlay a VP run in 2016 into a title fight in 2024, I can't see Trump wanting to be someone's second in command. It's part of why I think he'll drop out - when the poll numbers crater, he's got nothing to fight for, and for his brand he's better off throwing some mud (whatever Master Wizard is for "the Establishment is working behind the scenes to ensure I'll never get the nomination") and walking away than he is waiting to record 2% of the votes in Iowa.
